The Catcher in the Rye

That's one of the first novels that really got me sticked to it until I finished it. I've read it three times, never the English version, though (I've seen it a couple of times at this bookstore I go once or twice every week, so I guess it won't be long until I get it in English) I read it first when I was 15, and for a couple of years you could endlessly find in my short stories the "I mean" that Holden Caulfield repeats every now and then in The Catcher... Anyway, I was looking for the begining of the novel on the internet, so you could share it with me, but I ended up finding this other quote that I found somewhat interesting:
"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be." ~ Chapter 22, spoken by the character Holden Caulfield, The Catcher in the Rye.
